This diploma thesis "Reasons why there was a food crisis in 2007 and 2008" summarizes and analyzes to what extent contributed particular factors to food crises all around the world in 2007 and 2008. Media and some well known international organizations believed that the main factors that caused last food crises were bio-fuels and significantly increased demand from China and India. This diploma thesis summarizes all main factors and comes to conclusion that the main factor that should be eliminated as soon as possoble is the problem with global climatic changes. Several international organizations have discussed this issue on international and global level for several years so let us hope we will not only discuss but we will do some active and concrete steps to solve this global problem. Of course the other factors need to be eliminated or at least moderated in the future as well. None of the crises occurs because of some concrete factor. It is always set of reasons that have caused some global problem.
